Built for performance and efficiency

The UR18 combines high payload with agile performance. Its robust design supports larger end effectors and heavy components, while its low weight allows for easy mounting on standard gantry systems. With a reach of 950 mm and fast travel speeds of up to 4 m/s, the UR18 is particularly suitable for high-throughput pick-and-place applications. This reduces cycle times and significantly increases productivity—without additional infrastructure costs.

18 kg load capacity with a compact footprint

The UR18 lifts heavy components and enables the use of larger tools—without requiring additional space or system changes.

High speed for short cycle times

With speeds of up to 4 m/s, the UR18 supports fast processes and increases efficiency in pick-and-place and handling processes.

Flexible tool and center of gravity adjustment

The UR18 remains stable and precise, even when the center of gravity changes due to different end effector assemblies or component geometries.

Secure collaboration

The UR18 has integrated safety features such as force sensors and collision detection. This means that, depending on the risk assessment, it can be operated without protective barriers. Its robust safety architecture sets new standards for collaborative industrial robots.

Easy to program

New tasks can be set up quickly via the intuitive user interface—no special prior knowledge required.

Highly flexible in use

The compact footprint allows integration even in confined production areas or existing systems.

Very quick to set up

Only a few steps are required from assembly to initial programming.

About UR+ products

UR18 Areas of application

The UR18 can be used in a wide range of applications. Click on the most popular applications below to learn more.

Dispensing with cobots

Automate gluing and sealing processes for consistent quality. Reduce your material consumption and relieve employees of monotonous tasks—easily and flexibly.

Grinding with cobots

Thanks to integrated force-torque sensors, the robot can "feel" the surface. It maintains constant pressure—whether on a flat surface or a curved edge.

Machine loading with cobots

A cobot never takes a break. It can run ghost shifts and keep your machines productive even at night or on weekends.

Deburring with cobots

Automate monotonous deburring. Cobots with flexible tools compensate for tolerances and ensure consistent edge quality on metal and plastic.

Palletizing with cobots

Automate the palletizing of cartons. Relieve employees of heavy work and increase efficiency with flexible solutions for every stack height.

Assembly with cobots

Precision in assembly. Cobots take over the screwing, joining, and plugging of components—with integrated force control and seamless process monitoring.

Quality inspection with cobots

Whether optical inspection with cameras or physical measurement with probes and sensors: Cobots automate your quality inspection objectively, precisely, and reproducibly.

Welding with cobots

Automate welding processes with our mobile cobot cells. Compensate for the shortage of skilled workers and achieve consistent quality – ready to use immediately ("Ready to Weld").
